Sammour Topples Aubakirov in Battle of the Chip Leaders
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Katerina Aristotelous opened to 13,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Daniyar Aubakirov on the button and Andre Sammour in the big blind.
The flop came J?Q?K? and action checked around to Aubakirov, who bet 9,000. Sammour check-raised to 20,000 and Aristotelous got out of the way. Aubakirov made the call.
On the 4? turn Sammour bet 20,000. Aubakirov raised to 98,000 and Sammour called.
The river was the 2?. Sammour checked and Aubakirov moved all in for 230,000. Sammour thought about the decision for a minute before putting in the call.
Aubakirov had K?7? for top pair, turned into a bluff, while Sammour tabled A?10? for a broadway straight to take down the biggest pot of the day so far.
